4 O: u. K4 K9 e1 Q( R) c. S3 t For the last 20 years, I've worked as a arbitrator of disputes involving land.Arbitration is an arduous process that requires patience. Both parties in a dispute are typically ardent about their opinions. It's this state of ardor that makes it difficult to approach a satisfactory solution. Fortunately, I have theaptitude for understand's people's needs and finding an appropriate solution that satisfies the approximate requirements of both sides.
3 z2 W; T7 ~; `6 f The parties who approve me to judge their case know that I'm apt to make a fair and reasonable decision, not an arbitray one. This knowledge tends to lower theapprehension of both parties. I find that if the parties are less apprehensive, they are more cooperative. But no case is easy. There's always a sticking point.7 e# E! ?5 ~' X" I# q, ?$ O$ J
Presently, I'm working on a dispute between an old farmer and the government. The old farmer owns a piece of arable land on which he has grown fruit trees for 25 years. He wants to keep his land just as it is, not only because of his trees , but also due to the arboreal life it supports. The government believes that the old man's farming methods are archaic and not a productive use of the land. They wantapproval to use farmer's land to build a huge high-tech public aquarium. They want to display unique aquatic creatures to help educate the public. The government plans to make this project the archetype for all future public aquariums.* E O- T. I4 F: B! N
Well, it's going to be a tough case. In fact, it may be my toughest case yet.
2 O h7 ?( c# b' [ 我已做了2年的仲裁者，我的工作是解决涉及土地的争端。仲裁工作是个需要耐心的艰难过程，争执双方总是热切的阐述自己的观点，正是这份热切才使得双方很难探讨一个令人满意的解决方案。幸亏我有这方面的才能，总能善解人意，找到合适的解决办法，方才大致上满足了双方的要求。 b( g. p, t* ~
凡赞成让我裁决个案的利益双方都明白，我善于做出公正、合理的决定，绝不会武断的下结论。这一认识常常能减少争执双方的担忧。我发现争执双方越不担忧，就越容易合作。但没有一个个案是容易解决的，仲裁中总有症结。

这将是个棘手的案子。实际上，这可能是我经历过的最难解决的案子 |
